Vik traveled under a string of assumed identities, hopping from town to town, doing odd jobs, working part time groceries, day spa attendant emergency fill in, never staying long anywhere in case her, names always came to her easily, except the one true name she never knew. While she had decided to avoid the criminal career, her excitable, party animal nature had a habit of getting her in trouble with the local law

Drunk and Disorderly, Public Nuisance, Excessive Noise, Unregistered Pets, Urinating In Public (wasn't her fault the door was broken and wouldn't open!), She was burning through her fake ID's faster than the babysitter’s boyfriend when the parents car pulls up.

Somewhere near the end of her teen years she hooked up with a rock band in Lucky Palms, she was a groupie, a part time roadie, a party animal, and living the life. The bands manager made sure 'The Flaming Spiceberries" always had the best gigs, the best rooms,  the best booze, and the best drugs.

He also had the best lawyers and kept them out of the hands of the law, and saw to it that the paparazzi only ever showed them in a good light.

Vienna as she was calling herself now woke up in the back of her transit van, her blanket piled up uncomfortably over her head, she gave it a flick and rolled over onto her side to find her self staring into a set of the largest, greenest eyes she had ever seen. "Morning Lil, it is morning, isn't' it? She smiled. Lilliana was a fan of the band, definitely not groupie material though. The band loved having a Fairy follower, it was great for publicity. Vik and Lil had shared a bed before on several occasions, and not always for sleeping. Lil wasn't her girlfriend, but was more than just a sex buddy, it was... complicated.

"Vik sat up and pulled the nearest T-shirt she could find over her head, it looked like a faded antique 'Simlingtons' t-shirt, except it was inside out. "Why are you in The SinBin Lil? I thought you had your own room in the palace a few doors down from the dark wave gods?" she groaned, resisting the urge to vomit.  

"I was worried about you V, when you left the party last night you were a mess, I was worried you might hurt yourself". Lil choked, "Really, really, worried! "Must have been a real wild night?" suggested Vienna, not able to recall the last 24 hours.

Lilliana run off a list of V's late night indiscretions.

"You vomited in Kurt's guitar, not on it, in it, straight through the sound hole, luckily you spilled your booze on it as well, washed the evidence off the strings."

"You told David that all his tattoos were girly, and you had more manly tattoos on your ass."

"You pushed Johan off the coach, then sat with your feet in his head and told it was his turn to be a damn doormat"

"When Nicholas tried to drag you out of the party, you called him a pussy and punched his lights out"

V, noticing her T-shirt, pulled it up over her shoulders, turned it outside in, and slipped it back on

"Don't sweat it Lilli-babe, they all would have been as blitzed as me, they probably won't remember any of it" Vienna said hopefully as she lay back down. Lil, looked at her with her serious face "V, Nick was sober, waiting for the manager to call. I'm sorry little one, but you have burnt your bridges with the band. But that's not why I'm worried about you V!"

"Ah fuck, Napalm Forehead Slap Incoming", V moaned, " I'm worried about you because you are pregnant" Lil said in the type of voice you might use to tell a small child 'Nazi stormtroopers with chainsaws in the playground' is not an appropriate game to play with your friends.

"V sat bolt upright "Im fuckin whaa.. Huuueeeeeeergh". V, for the first time sprayed the inside of her mobile home with vomit.

Some Time Later...  Vienna leaves the hospital under the name of Venice Jettstar with baby Marcus tucked under her arm. Lil waits patiently in the car park with the van. "Are you sure you want to do this Vik?". "I need to Lilli", groans Vik, Val, Vi, Venice, "I hate to see the old van go, but I have a son now, I have to change my life, I have to. Hey, thanks for looking after the van and dogbreath for me."

Lil assures V that it was no problemo, and that her and Gypsy have become good friends while V was in hospital. "Oh crap, before I forget Lil, I'm going by Venice Jettstar now". Lil rolls her best friends new name around her tongue, and they drive off to Honest John Used Car Yard.

Honest John is an old friend of Lil's father, and while he isn't exactly honest, he does give Vienna a fair price for the van, even though she was hoping for more. Lilli wanders over with Marcus snuggled in her arms. "Now what is your plan sweety?" Lil asks. Vienna ponders a moment before answering, "Well ... I have more than I expected, which is less than I need.. So we might hitch hike a lift to Midnight Falls, Moonlight Valley, or this other place I was reading about Elba Village. And then find a nice affordable one room shack in a cheap swamp somewhere".

Lilli never talked about her family,  not when they had first met, not when they had become friends, not when they had become good, or even best friends. Not even now, when they were.. so much more...

All V knew, was that Lilli had access to plenty of money, but didn't throw it around wastefully, she knew that Lilli hated her family for some reason, and that the fairy, like V, would sneak off to listen to bands to escape her life, exactly the same as V did.

"You know, I have some simoleons put away". Lilli hints, "If I come live with you, maybe I could finally find an un-concreted space large enough to grow a garden, and help you look after Marcus, and ..."Lil trails off realizing she is sounding more desperate as she goes. Vienna leans in to take Marcus from Lil's arms, and kisses her deeply and passionately. "Fantastic!" Vienna exclaims breathlessly, "I wasn't sure how I was going to live without you".
